CYPRUS

Cyprus the most easterly, the third largest
and some say, the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean, enjoys the
best sunshine record of all the islands, with some 340 days of sun each
year.

Cyprus is an island of great scenic beauty with pine clad mountains rising
up to 6,500 feet above gentle valleys and orchards, where watermelons,
vines, oranges, figs and pomegranates grow. The island lies at the
cross-roads of Europe, Asia and Africa and has over the ages come under
the influence of all these cultures

Today's visitors can still admire the remains of awe-inspiring palaces, temples
and fortresses built by Romans, Venetians and Crusaders. Apart from its wealth
of history, the island offers a host of natural beauties. Glistening sun warmed
beaches, punctuated by sheltered rocky coves fringe the crystal clear sea, and
in-land cool pine forests cover the lower slopes of the snow-capped Troodos
mountains.

The
Cypriot people are very hospitable, you are a friend, a guest on the island,
they will love you and extend their hospitability to you as though you have been
friends forever - which is probably why so many people return year after year.

There are many reasons why you should choose Cyprus as your next destination for
a successful holiday; the excellent standard of accommodation, complemented by a
host of facilities and highly efficient service; the island enjoys an
incomparable status in the eastern Mediterranean. The British are especially
welcomed since there is a strong British influence - most Cypriots speak
excellent English, driving is on the left and road signs are in both Greek and
English.

Whether you are the traveller or sun worshipper we believe you will leave
Cyprus with many cherished memories and will want to return.

CRETE

Crete is the largest and most southerly of the
Greek islands, boasting a typically hot and sunny Mediterranean climate.
It holds an abundance of fascinating history dating right back to the
Minoan Period of 2600 BC, being also the birthplace of Zeus, father of all
Greek gods and the Minoan Empire where the legend of the Minotaur has its
origins.

Its strategic location has throughout history, caused it to be one of the
most important trading nations in the Mediterranean. From trade comes
wealth, as can be witnessed by visiting one of the many magnificent
archaeological sites for which Crete is famous

The land is infinitely varied – mountain ranges rise up to 8,000 feet,
Europe’s deepest gorge winds for twelve miles through rock walls at times
1,000 feet high, and countless beaches lead to a clear blue sea. Add to
these, high alpine meadows, fertile valleys full of olive trees and orange
groves, you will find old stone farmhouses, monasteries and villages many of
which have not changed in centuries.

But the most striking aspect of this land is its people. Shaped by
centuries of struggle against oppression, they are as rugged as the
mountains, fiercely independent and passionately loyal to Crete, Read ‘Zorba
the Greek’ for a marvellous evocation of the people and the place.

Wherever you decide to visit, you will find the people both warm and
friendly and you'll certainly be spoilt for choice. Whether your preference
is beautiful beaches, picturesque scenery, ancient history or lively
nightlife, Crete has it all - the choice is yours.
